To point out that Donald Trump consistently lies in his claims is not to support Biden. To point out that Biden is clearly in the early stages of dementia and is declining is not to support Trump.
To acknowledge these facts is to point out the utter shallowness and weaknesses of both of our political parties in placing their own needs to stay in power about the needs of the country in a time of regional warfare, AI, high prices, a declining population, a need for social justice, a need to contain anarchists, and a need to thwart anti-Semitism.
The country has seen this before and will undoubtedly get through it. But that also means we haven’t learned much from it in the past.
